Local insight
For a Boca Raton ceiling project, bring any existing material test results and building requirements to the estimate. Height, access, ceiling condition, and the desired finish affect the work plan. Suspected asbestos needs professional assessment before removal.
Popcorn ceiling removal in Boca Raton
Popcorn ceilings were a standard finish in Florida tract homes built between the late 1960s and early 1990s — which means a large share of East Boca and older Intracoastal-area homes still have them. Buyers, interior designers, and anyone who has updated their lighting or crown molding knows how much a smooth or lightly textured ceiling changes the feel of a room. Removal is a messy, time-consuming process done wrong, but our crews handle it efficiently with full floor and furniture protection.
The process
We wet the texture to soften it, scrape the ceiling clean, and inspect for any drywall damage or tape seams that surfaced during scraping. Any damage is patched and feathered before we apply a skim coat to level the surface. Depending on your preference, we can leave the ceiling smooth, apply a light orange-peel or knockdown texture, or match the texture found elsewhere in the home. We finish with a primer coat and two coats of ceiling paint.
Asbestos in older Boca Raton homes
Suspected asbestos-containing texture should not be disturbed before assessment by a trained asbestos professional. A building’s age or appearance does not establish whether its ceiling contains asbestos. KB Painting does not perform asbestos abatement; any required specialist work and clearance must be resolved before our ceiling finishing work.
See the EPA’s guidance on identifying asbestos and Florida DEP’s asbestos guidance. Requirements depend on the building and project, not a universal pre-1980 rule.
What’s included
Full room preparation including floor protection and furniture moving, wet scraping, surface repair, skim coat, prime coat, and two finish coats of ceiling paint. We match the final sheen to adjacent surfaces or leave the ceiling flat per your preference.
Questions Boca Raton homeowners ask
Can you match the ceiling texture in rooms that don’t have popcorn to the rooms that do after removal? Yes — this is one of the most common requests in Boca Raton homes where only some rooms were done in popcorn. We texture-match by hand or with spray equipment to the existing finish in adjacent rooms, then prime and paint everything to a consistent finish. The transition is seamless.

What does popcorn ceiling removal cost in Boca Raton?

Do older East Boca homes need asbestos testing before popcorn removal?

A building’s age or appearance does not establish whether its ceiling contains asbestos. KB Painting does not perform asbestos abatement; any required specialist work and clearance must be resolved before our ceiling finishing work.
How long does popcorn ceiling removal take in a typical Boca Raton home?
Most Boca Raton jobs run from wet-scraping through skim coat, primer, and two finish coats of ceiling paint, with full floor and furniture protection throughout. KB Painting's own crews — never subcontractors — wet the texture to keep dust down and allow proper dry time between coats, because rushing skim work in South Florida humidity is how ceilings end up cracking later.
